when it hurts but it hurts so good

chapter 2 : The Changes

Me and my friends stopped talking to each other, but still, some friends talked to me, but that one friend told other friends not to talk to me. I felt alone in the class. All the others sat with their friends during lunch break, but I was left alone. The days were going well, then I got to know that Misha rejected my friend, saying, "I don’t have a boyfriend, but still, I reject you". I was happy hearing that I went home. I grabbed my phone and asked her, "Did you reject my friend’s proposal, saying you don’t have a boyfriend but still reject him?" . The reply from her was, "I do have a boyfriend".

Yeah,I was not happy hearing it, but I didn’t believe it because if you have a crush on anyone and if they get to know you and if they don't have any feelings for you, they usually say this, thinking you may start moving on from them. My friends completely started becoming toxic towards me. We had a weird guy in our class. I was close to him, but when I got to know that he had a crush on her, I kept my distance from him. He turned my friend against me, and we both had a big fight in the class. The guy stood against me, and there was a big fight there.

Then one day I asked Misha, "Can I get your phone number?" She replied, "Why? I mean, texting online is good". Yeah, that time she was about to give her phone number, but I was dumb enough not to take it, and now I regret it. She had a friend in her bus; that guy got to know that I loved her, and he started to tease her with my name wherever he saw me. With remedial classes, we also had robotic classes, so we went there in the last period. The only good thing was that he was in another block.

Unexpectedly, our school kids started to ship Aaryan and Misha. I knew they were just friends, but they were talking closely, so some jobless people started to ship them. The rumors were spreading like a forest fire, but she was like, I don’t care about what others think. I liked that attitude of hers; I just liked every single thing about her. I was just loving her madly. Then we had exams in our school, and I was desperately trying to start a conversation with her about the exams every day. A few months passed, but I still didn’t have a big conversation with her. I was still scared to talk to her in school, but online, I was damn extroverted. I asked her, "What and all chocolates do you like?" She said, "I like all dark chocolates." From that day on, I started giving her chocolates every day. I thought of impressing her, actually. But I really gave all of my love to her. We were not even dating, but I was still very loyal to her. My friends became my friends again, and everything slowly started to become normal again. They started to help me get her again.

A few days ago, she replied to my proposal. She suddenly called me to the corridor. I went, and she said "Okay, I accept you". Dude, that minute I just forgot where I was. I was so happy. I said this to all of my friends. Then, as usual, I went home and went for my tuition. Later, I took my phone and saw the notification. It was a message from her. I opened it, and she said, "We have to talk about something important tomorrow." I thought it was about our love, and I didn’t think anything at all. The next day I went to school and we met, and I asked "What’s that important thing? At that time, Aaryan was with me, and she said "My crush proposed to me, so I accepted him, so I’m sorry to say this, but I am committed to him". She just broke my heart for the first time. Dude, just imagine you falling in love with your crush and breaking up the very next day. That was what happened to me. But I replied "Let’s be friends at least and she said "okay…".I swear to God, this hurts more than everything.

 

Nah, bruh, I still didn’t give up on her. I tried again and again with my pickup lines. On the other hand, I got introduced to a school group where all the cool kids were. I had a good time there, I got introduced to new people there, and to be honest, I kind of became famous. There I got a girl best friend named Athulya. I really don’t know, but I got the best vibes of my life from her. We were just friends, but as the days passed, our bond became stronger. We started having conversations every day, and whenever I was sad, she made me happy. That was the thing that I liked the most about her. Athulya always had a positive vibe. Then I told her that I have a crush on Misha, and she also helped to get her. Not gonna lie, some 9th and 10th graders helped me a lot, and I will always remember them for real. She was also known as "motivational sensei." I swear to God, it actually suits her. I didn’t know she would play such a big role in my life in the future.

It was all going well until that incident happened on September 24.
